Blue Planet Systems Corporation was founded in 2012 to commercialize a revolutionary approach to CO2 management at the gigatons scale by converting captured CO2 into limestone construction aggregates where it is permanently sequestered into building materials. Blue Planet uses its proprietary Geomimetic ® process, that mimics similar natural chemical process that have regulated Earth’s atmospheric CO2 over many hundreds of millions of years and created coral reefs, the White Cliffs of Dover, and almost all-natural limestone, which contain most of Earth’s carbon. Without complex CO2 separation or purification steps or reliance on subsidies, and now ready to implement with existing aggregate handling infrastructure available worldwide, Blue Planet believes it has developed the only truly scalable method for capturing and permanently managing billions of tons of CO2 before 2035.
